Download or read book Dogs and Doghouses written by Andy Decker and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We live in an age when people can't seem to tell the difference between a dog and a dog-house." So goes the comparison made by Andy Decker in his newly released Dogs & Doghouses, Rethinking "Church". Considering the contemporary Christian landscape, and using the Bible as the, "sole rule of faith," are we prepared to dismiss as unnecessary tradition many of the things we take for granted when going to what has come to be called church? When you pick up this book prepare to have your thinking on what it means to be a Christian challenged in a direct and significant manner. When you are finished you will have been asked serious questions about not only what you believe, but more importantly, why you believe those things. Decker takes the reader to task on many levels emphasizing the whole while that we should indeed love the Lord with not only our hearts and souls, but with our minds as well. The book and its many comparisons are based on the simple premise that the Bible should be the basis of Christianity. Anything else needs to be considered well-intentioned extras (at best) or superstitious idolatry (at worst). Decker offers three broad areas of topics (what is a church, the roles and responsibilities of church leadership, and how a Christian should give) only after providing an up-front list of assumptions that allow us to hear his biases from the first chapter. The final three chapters will impress the reader to apply what he or she has just read. He urges a resetting of the ancient landmarks that are often missing from today's Christian lives. Daring to use the idea of "a correct worship," in an age of, "here's what it means to me," Decker reminds us that the Bible means something and that the beginning of wisdom is still the fear of the Lord; that repentance still means setting aside what lives in the unrepentant heart for the better ways found in the scriptures.
Download or read book Building a Doghouse written by Mary Twitchell and published by Storey Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Build a Doghouse That's Just Right for Your Dog! While your dog may be a full-fledged member of the family, there are times when you must put him or her outdoors. Some dogs, for example, become over enthusiastically friendly when visitors appear, even to the point of knocking down your unsuspecting guests. Other dogs enjoy having some time to themselves in the backyard. Whatever the reason that shepherds the dog out the door, a nearby doghouse within a fenced-in area provides a protected, private space for your dog and peace of mind for you. A proper doghouse is a canine retreat, a place where your dog can hide from the hot sun, the cold rain, the harsh wind, and the worries of the world. Mary Twitchell takes you through all the options for building or buying a comfortable and cozy shelter for your canine companion. Whether you want to modify a barrel, buy a molded plastic shelter, or build a wooden doghouse, you'll find all the information you need right here, from choosing the right site to proper building techniques to encouraging your dog to use the new doghouse.

But Rover isn't called Rover anymore, he's called Rufus. Or Lola, according to the Tumblog Hipster Puppies. In fact, all Top Ten Dog Names are people names.
